I have following problem with my website. I created very simple website for my family (including my grandfather) but they don't know much about internet. That is why I have to create auto refresh when they open a website.

My website is here: http://kartingsiemianowice.pl/ (please don't look at the code, because it was created just for few days).

Can you let me know how can I create refresh when they open a website? Because when I will change something and send these files to FTP then they have to refresh page.

Best HTML code placed in head section of the website works good in all browsers.

<head> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="60"> </head>

Where meta will say to browser what to do and content is time in seconds.

If you need to transfer your visitor to another domain just use:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=https://mlmos.com/">

where meta will say what to do, content time in seconds, now 2 or as you wish, then order to redirect to any url, in this case mlmos.com

Hope so this simple solution will help!

As Minh Quy stated in the comments, you can use the JS function setInterval or setTimeout

Example below :

setInterval(function(){alert("Hello")}, 3000);

setTimeout(function () {
    location.reload();
}, 3000);

The first simple example displays a pop-up alert window every 3 seconds and the second reloads the page after 3 seconds.

So for your purposes, you will need to use this function in conjunction with your existing code to refresh the page when the user visits a specific page or performs a specific action.

Use following code

setTimeout(function () {
    location.reload();
}, 1000);

where 1000 is the number of milliseconds to wait before executing the code.
